Eating Disorders Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Accepting New Clients. When "Life" happens, it happens fast and sometimes in a way that throws what we had planned for ourselves off course. But, just because we get off track, that does not mean we are lost forever. Life was made to have highs and lows, but successfully navigating through those highs and lows will be our greatest accomplishment. My greatest passion is working with those that are having difficulty navigating these very highs and lows of life. We are not always able to change our physical environment or the "Life" things that happen, BUT we can change the way we look at these events. And THAT is why I am here.

Asking for help and seeking treatment is hard! You're longing to feel more understood, less isolated, and more at home in your body. You're ready to enjoy more of your life and worry less. You don't want to compare yourself to others any longer. People have told you to "shake it off," "get over it," "you shouldn't feel this way." You're tired of being told how you should feel and that it's not okay TO feel, to begin with. There is enough space for ALL of your feelings and experience here; all parts of you are welcome.

Are you thinking something needs to change but you’re not sure what? Life can often throw major curveballs and we can be left feeling stuck, frustrated or confused. Other times life is difficult and we beat ourselves up because it seems that everyone else is doing fine. Whether you’re struggling with eating issues, worry that won’t go away, or feeling like every day is a battle, things can change for the better.

Hi I'm Alison Cross! I am a psychotherapist, and I provide both in person and virtual services in Georgia and North Carolina. It’s important to have an idea of what feels like the right fit when you’re looking for a qualified person to talk to. The problem is, how do you know? So here's what it looks like with me. When my client leaves our session, my goal is for them to feel heard and respected.  I want my clients to feel like they’re talking to a real person.  How else can trust be built? My style has been described as 'down to earth, gentle, and encouraging.' I also have a great sense of humor that comes in only when appropriate.

In today's society, there's a lot of conflicting information out there, which might leave you feeling confused or even frustrated. Do I have trauma? Am I doomed to diet forever? Why am I so anxious? Is healing even possible? Does anyone even care about me? What the hell does it all mean?! Well, that's where therapy comes in. As your therapist, I provide space to sort through all of your questions and concerns, beyond just a diagnosis. We might look at your past and the present, in order to provide clarity for the future.

Have you been feeling unheard, confused, overwhelmed? Does life feel like A LOT? Do you find yourself questioning what’s next? Perhaps it feels like something is missing or not quite right. You might even feel trapped in a constant state of anxiety! We all go through periods of uncertainty and doubt, but sometimes we need help finding our way through these times. Whatever you’re hoping to get out of therapy, you’re going to have to work! I’m here to help you figure out what that looks like. If you let me, I’ll guide you through the discomfort of growth.

You might be struggling with an eating disorder or body image, anxiety, chronic illness, or trauma. Or you may be dealing with relationship concerns even if you're currently in couples counseling or have tried it before. You may also be a mental health provider seeking therapy for yourself. Working through any of these concerns can be overwhelming and feel impossible to manage alone. I aim to meet you where you're at and work as your partner to build coping skills, meaningful connections to yourself & others, and ultimately a life that you fully enjoy living.

Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just feeling stuck in life, I'm here for you. I'll walk alongside you on this journey to help you identify your strengths and coping strategies to help you move forward. We'll also detangle the threads of your past and help you make sense of the story of your life. We'll talk about your childhood trauma as well as what's going on in the present - and how these things interact.

Client needs are usually around relationship struggles, self-esteem, career exploration, anxiety/depression, and trauma. Healing from these struggles can aid in great advancement in life through living each day with a positive lens, getting through the tough times in life, and genuinely enjoying where they are at in the present moment.
